In fact, I usually install the client libraries separate from my server installs on the same machine. For the client libraries, I do `./configure --without-server' in a mysql-3.22.32 source tree to install client libraries into the default place (/usr/local/...). That way I can build the Perl modules and not have to upgrade them each time I upgrade the server code. For the server install, I do `./configure --prefix=/home/mysql' in the latest source tree and that puts a FULL install under /home/mysql where it's isolated from the rest of the system. This makes server upgrades very easy. I never have broken client libraries and never have to wander all over the filesystem trying to find mysql related stuff. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
